CLERMONT HAVE SOME of the most physically powerful players in France in their squad and it looks like their senior team isn’t the only one that has some wrecking balls in it.
Enzo Coppin is 11 and plays for one of the Clermont underage teams. He is also over six feet tall and as you can see from these photos, he isn’t a normal kid.
That is a pre-teen boy standing next to Benjamin Kayser, Zac Guildford and Nick Abendanon. He doesn’t exactly look out of place.
A French tv channel did a report on Enzo and unsurprisingly, he obliterates the opposition at his age level.
How can someone his age be that strong, quick and massive?
Maybe he can follow in his countryman Andre The Giant’s footsteps and join the WWE.
Or if he wants to stay in the 15-man game, Enzo and Trevor Brennan’s son Dan could dominate second rows together in the French team for the next 15 years like Godzilla and King Kong.
Whoops!

Can’t help but wonder what if Ferris was still playing that would be a frightening back row.
True. Ferris would be an upgrade on Stander
Two bulldozers! Only one more sleep lads
Can’t wait to see them 3 get stuck in and cause complete mayhem
CJ and SOB are gona tear the frogs a new arsehole
When u think o mahony and Henderson has to come back into this squad,and Wat they both bring to De table,and with the quality ireland have right across all back positions now,and De quality coming through,irish rugby is definitely, at international level,in a great place..
Shame that knob jockey pape won’t be playing. We won’t get to see Seanie give him a cuddle!
Thought ruddock was on bench not TOD?
There was some confusion yesterday but it is the TOD.
It shows the quality we have in the back row when Ruddock can’t get in the 23.
Or when POM isn’t missed. (Tactically, personally we still miss him)
Disagree with that, I am biased against Munster and despite that I think he is arguably Ireland’s best forward – he is always immense when he plays for Ireland – I don’t think Stander, Henry or O’Donnell can match him
I’m a huge POM fan and really think he adds something extra. But if we lose we won’t be saying “of only Peter had been playing”. His replacement doesn’t fall THAT far short.
Just consider for a moment Henderson playing at 6 along with Stander at 8 and O’Brien at 7.
That would be the dream combination
Just need to find pace on the Inge and power in the second row and then we have a team to be feared
I’d have Henderson at second row. Completely fills the position but the advantage of another back row in the loose.
You’d sort of be missing Heaslip at 8 there, lad
Can’t wait for an ireland win..
